    Hi Julie:

    I like to really do this diet but I just can’t afford it. I had to cancel. Is there anyway I could do without the financial expense every month?

PD Changed My Life!

Before starting PD, I had tried so many other ways and plans to lose weight. Sustainability (or lack thereof) and feeling deprived were the two biggest hurdles I faced. I had even tried being vegan for a time but found it difficult due to lack of recipes. In November of 2014, I met with a… Read more or comment “PD Changed My Life!”

I was skeptical… at first!

I have to admit when my mother suggested this idea of no meats, dairy, oils, etc. I was highly skeptical. Those are all the things I love about food! Then we made some of the recipes, starting with sauces like the sweet mustard dressing, ketchup, etc. I loved them. We then moved on to snacks… Read more or comment “I was skeptical… at first!”

You Are Never Too Old To Change Your Life With PD

In May of 2015 upon returning from a 3 week vacation, I found that my blood pressure (been high and on meds since I was 50) had reached 220/110 at my Dr’s office. I also had a cholesterol reading of 235. I was in crisis; a heart attack or stroke waiting to happen. After several… Read more or comment “You Are Never Too Old To Change Your Life With PD”
